Anyone else see this? Really interesting concept.

He claims to have built a tractor in 6 days. The groups main website is chock full of interesting DIY stuff.

Very interesting. Others have done things in just 6 days!

If you hav all the parts ahead of time, and you buy all the steel pre cut, you could easly do it in 6 days.

and, could you realy call that a tractor?
I'm glad to see they are working open source, may get some good ideas out of them.

Looks like it was done in one day on junkyard wars

The group has a noteworthy goal. Implementation of some of their ideas is a little rough. Cool nonetheless.

His concept is very clever - give people the building blocks to make hardware to have the life they want. It takes a certain kind of person to take this idea up & run with it - the kind that really doesn't want to become a termite in a cubicle farm. I like that he has set something in motion and is willing to let it take it's own course.

Yes, he built a tractor in 6 days, but did he rest on the 7th?

Sounds like someone browsed the best of TBN's "build it yourself" forum and made a public speaking agenda out of it. It's nice that this guy has built a central repository to collect ideas like this, but he's not as innovative as he's trying to make himself seem.
